Certainly not: Igneous rocks vary in mineralogy from Felsic to Mafic, which encompassed all sorts of compositions. Does a Granite appear the same as a Basalt? No, because they have different mineralogies, and different minerals have different colours and textures. This is visible in every rock.
Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock that has the same mineral composition as basalt. Both rocks are composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene minerals.
The texture of an igneous rock refers to the size of its mineral crystals. If the common magma of both igneous rocks has experienced differences in cooling rates due to depth, they will have different textures. Slow cooling produces large crystals, and quick cooling produces small crystals. Granite and rhyolite are two igneous rocks sharing the same mineral composition, but having undergone different rates of magma cooling due to depth at solidification.
Color, as it is not a reliable indicator due to variations within the same type of rock. Texture, mineral composition, and formation conditions are typically used to classify igneous rocks.
Increase the pressure and temperature by burying them; or heat them with an igneous intrusion.
All rocks are some arrangement of Earth's magma. Igneous rocks are hardened magma. Sedimentary rock are from weathered material from igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks have the same composition but are subject to extreme heat and pressure and hence change their crystal structure.
This is as a result of difference in the rate of cooling of the Igneous rocks.

According to the New York State Earth Science Reference Tables, the two rocks that have the same general chemical and mineral compositions are igneous rocks called andesite and diorite. They both have a composition that consists of quartz, plagioclase feldspar, biotite, pyroxene, and amphibole.
Yes. The grain texture also matters. For example, basalt and gabbro have the same mineral composition, but basalt, which forms on the surface, has microscopic grains while gabbro, which forms underground, has larger mineral grains.
Rocks that feel and look the same likely share similar mineral composition and texture. Minerals present in the rock, as well as the way the rock formed (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), contribute to its appearance and feel. Thus, rocks that appear and feel the same are likely to be composed of similar minerals and have undergone similar geological processes.
It all depends on the rock type in question. But basically, to an extent in terms of Igneous Composition, most Igneous rocks are composed of the Minerals; Quartz, Feldsper and Mica Mineral (either of/both the Muscovite and Biotite).
Biotite is definitely a mineral. It's in the same family as muscovite, another mineral in the mica family.
Using chocolate and butterscotch chips to represent igneous rock has limitations because these materials do not accurately mimic the physical and chemical properties of real igneous rocks. Chocolate and butterscotch chips do not have the same mineral composition, texture, or formation process as igneous rocks, so they may not provide a realistic representation for educational purposes.
